- The center of gravity of the 850-N man is at G. If the man pulls on the rope with a 388-N force, determine the horizontal distance b between the man's feet and G.arrow_forwardThe horizontal boom carries the weight W=108lb at A. The boom is supported by the cables AB and AC. The tensions in the cables are TAB=120lb and TAC=160lb. Determine the single force R that is equivalent to three forces acting on the boom at A.arrow_forwardA 50-m steel surveying tape has a mass of 1.6 kg. If the tape is stretched between two points at the same elevation and pulled until the tension at each end is 60 N, determine the horizontal distance between the ends of the tape. Neglect the elongation of the tape due to the tension.arrow_forward
